Re: Six Counties locked down

They still haven't added Luzerne county, which has 6 times the cases of Erie County. But they did add Lehigh. No biggie. I'm going to do what I'm going to do. Went shooting today. Had the place to myself.

Yeh, it's like a ghost town out here outside of Erie. There weren't even any boats on the lake fishing and it was a beautiful day on the lake, Hardly a ripple. It's pretty rare that Lake Erie looks like a pond.
